Minimum Order Requirements

[GoogleCodeExporter]

There is something I ran into that would be nice if the program would look
at that, so i don't have to do it manually.

Let's assume a station has 2 orders for Mexallon out.
1st order want's a quantity of 2,000,000 units and offers 40.00 ISK
2nd order want's a quantity of 2,000,000 units and offers 30,00 ISK

NavBot sees the higher price and decides it is the better run, it calulates
how much Mexallon I can afford or fill into my ship. Lets assume my means
are limited and I can afford only 500,000 units at a place that sells it
for 35.00 ISK.
It seems I am making 5 ISK per piece and thus get a profit of 2,500,000 ISK
(minus taxes and such)

I arrive with my haul and now the trap springs: the 1st Order want's a
minimum of 2,000,000 units, where as the 2nd order takes a minimum order of
1 unit.
I cannot sell to the first buyer and I have no financial means to make
subsequent hauls to fill the order completely.
I am forced to sell at 32.00 ISK and have a loss of 1,500,000 ISK (plus
taxes and such)

If NavBot could scan for minimum order amounts, this practice of entrapment
would stop soon.

Thank you

This is not a defect, but I don't know how to change it to 'Enhancement'

I do :-) Thanks for the report. I never really considered minimum order 
requirements 
but you're quite right, it should be taken into account!
